A Simple Act of Kindness




Tonight some of the Ladies of Life Tabernacle took time out of their busy schedule to pass out Halloween treat to the residents of Monterrey Care Center.I feel very strongly about elderly people that live in nursing homes, most of the time their families just "dump" them there because they don't want to have that burden and they never go and visit them.All the people we passed out cookies and cupcakes too were so happy and overwhelmed that someone else cared. One of the first ladies we gave a treat too, had a massive stroke and was unable to talk,she started to cry because someone else cared enough to stop what their doing and show a little kindness.Needless to say we were all teary eyed. Next month for Thanksgiving I am hoping we can do this again at another nursing home.

To Early To Walk





A few weeks ago Kassie, Priscilla and I got up what seemed to be at the crack of dawn and walked for the Alzheimer's Association. We got donation from people in the community and family and we walked. We only walked for like a mile and it was kinda funny there were three water stations for 1 mile. Kinda Humerus. It is a really good cause, working with patients with this disease and what it does to their mind, I was happy to get up before 8:00 on a Saturday. We will more than likely do this again next year.It was fun and we enjoyed it and the yummy breakfast at Atalanta Bread Company afterwards:)
